Where Is Heaven ?

This singular question was put to
Sam Jones, the evangelist, by one Of
his wealthy church members in
Georgia whose cotton crop yielded
him some $4,000 last year Where
is heaven ?" said the rich planter
"I'll tell you where heaven is, "
said Mr.. Jones. If you 20 down to
the village, and buy fifty dollars
worth of groceries, put them in II
wagon and take them to the poor
widow on the hillside, who has
three other children sick. She is
poor and is a member of the church.
Take with you a nurse; and some
one TO cook their meals. When you
get there read the twenty-third
Psalm, and knecl by her side and
pray. Then you will find out where
heaven is" Next day, as the evan
gelist was walking through the vii
lage, he met the same wealthy
planter, his face beaming with joy
He spoke after this manner Mr.
Jones, I've found out Where heaven
is. went and did.as you directed
me. We took up the wagon load of
groceries, and the widow was COM

Worse Than Small Pox.
A GREAT DANGER Which MENAcEs
AN NsUspICIoUs Public.

The Brompton Hospital for con-
sumptives, in London, reports that
over fifty people out of every hun
dred consumptives, are victims of
constipated or inactive kidneys.
Consumption is one of our nation
al diseases, and the above report
goes to prove what has often been
said in our columns during the last
eight years, that kidney troubles
are not only the cause of more than
half of the cases Of consumption,
but of ninety out of every hundred
other common diseases. They who
have taken this position, made their
claims after elaborate investigation.
and their proof that they have dis
covered IL specific for the terrible
and stealthy kidney diseases. which
have become so prevalent among
Us, is wise and convincing.
We have recently received from
them fresh supply of their wonder
ful advertising. They have challcng-
ed the medical profession and science
to investigate. They have investi-
gated, and those who are frank
have admitted the truth of their
statements. They claim that nine
ty per cent Of diseases come original
ly from inactive kidneys; that these
inactive kidneys allow the blood to
become filled with uric acid poison;
that this uric acid poison in the
blood carries disease through every
organ.
There is enough uric acid devel-
oped in the system within twenty
four hours to kill half dozen men.
This being scientific fact, it re-
quires only ordinary wisdom too
see the effect inactive kidneys must
have upon the system,
Ifthis poison is not removed, it
ruins every organ. If the bowels.
stomach or liver become inactive,
we know it at once, but other or
gans help them out. If the kidneys
become constipated and dormant,
the warning comes later on, and
often when tits too late, because the
effects are remote from the kidneys
and those organs are not suspected
to be out of order.
Organs that are weak and diseased
are unable 10 resist the attacks of
this poison, and the disease often
takes the form of and is treated as Il
local aliliction, when in reality the
real cause of the trouble was inactive
kidneys.
Too many medical men of the
present day hold what was fact
.wenty years ago, that kidney dis
'ase is incurablc, according to the
The Delaware ledger. (Newark, Del.) 1879-19??, 1887-04-16

medicines authorized by their code.
Hence, they ignore the original cause
Of disease itself, and give their atten-
ton to useless treating of local eff
tects.
They dose the patient with qui-
nine, morphine, or with salts and
other physics, hoping that thus ma
turc may cure the disease, while
the kidneys continue to waste away
with inflammation, liberation and
decay, and the victim eventually
perishes.
The same quantity Of blood that
passes through the heart, passes
through the kidneys. If the kidneys
are diseased, the blood soaks up this
disease and takes it all through the
system. Hence it is that the claim
is made that Warmers safe cure, the
only known specific for kidney dis
eases, which is sold so largely by all
dealers, cures 30 per cent of human
ailments, because it, and it alone, is
able to maintain the natural activ-
ity of the kidneys, and to neutralize
and remove the uric acid, or kidney
poison, us fast as ii is formed.
If this acid is not removed, there
is inactivity of the kidneys, and
there will be produced in the sys-
TEN paralysis, apoplexy, dyspepsia,
consumption, heart disease, head
aches, rheumatism, pneumonia, inn
potency, and all the nameless dis
eases of delicate women. If the
poisonous matter is separated from
the blood, as fast as it is formed,
these diseases, in a majority of cases
would not exist
1t only requires particle of
smallpox virus to produce that vile
disease, and the poisonous matter
from the kidneys, passing all through
the system and becoming lodged in
different weak points, is equally de-
structive, although more disguis-
ed.
il were possible for us to see in
to the kidneys, and how quickly
the blood passing through them
goes to the heart and lungs and
other parts of the system, carrying
this deadly virus with it, all would
believe without hesitation what has
so often been stated in advertise
ments in these columns, that the
kidneys are the most important or
gans in the body.
They may regard this article as
an advertisement and refuse to be-
lievc it, but that is a matter over
which We have no control Careful
investigation and science itself are
proving beyond doubt that this
organ is, in fact, more important
than any other in the system as
health regulator, and as such should
be closely watched, forthe least sign
Of disordcrcd action.
